I remember being in high school and my teachers telling me that college would lead to a better life, and more money.
Guess what. I went to college. I graduated in four years-- not the national average of five. I did an internship.
And where am I now.
Living back home, working a part time job, looking for a second job, and over $10,000 in debt.
Wonderful.
It's is so frustrating that I did the correct life path and went to college, yet I feel like if I just went to work out of high school I would be doing better. I'm sure if I lived in any state that valued education in any way this may be a different situation, but no I live in KY where a factory job pays $15/hr and teacher have second jobs in the summer to be able to have money during summer break.
I don't know what is worse seeing my loser-ness after going to college or realizing that I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
Any suggestions?
